Luke 23:18-25

18But they shouted out all together, saying, “Take this fellow away! Release to us Bar-Abba!”

19(He was someone who had been thrown into prison for a rebellion in the city and murder.)

20Again Pilate addressed them, wanting to release Yeshua;

21but they kept shouting out, saying, “Execute, execute Him!”

22And a third time he spoke to them, “Why? What evil has this One done? I have found in Him no fault deserving of death. Therefore, I will scourge and release Him.”

23But they were insistent, demanding with loud shouts that He be executed. And their voices prevailed.

24So Pilate decreed that their demand be put into effect.

25And He released the one they were asking for, the one thrown in jail for insurrection and murder. But he handed over Yeshua to their will.
